(Natural News) On Tuesday the website MarketWatch ran an Associated Press story with this headline and subhead: “Father of Sandy Hook victim wins defamation lawsuit against Alex Jones; Alex Jones is the host of the conspiracy-driven Infowars website and wrote a book titled, ‘Nobody Died at Sandy Hook.’”

Both of those statements are out-and-out lies.

First, a short review. You may recall that in December 2012, Adam Lanza, 20, shot and killed more than two dozen people at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. For years, the Left has accused Jones of exploiting the incident with ‘conspiracy theories’ aimed at undercutting the narrative about what happened.

And granted, there is a book titled, “Nobody Died at Sandy Hook,” which proffers that there were many “crisis actors” who took part in the incident at the school, and that the event was staged as a false flag event to push for more gun control.

And yes, Jones is being sued for reporting that was tied to the Sandy Hook shootings. 

But no, Jones hasn’t been successfully sued yet. And he was not the one who wrote the book, he says, which was edited by Jim Fetzer and Mike Palecek. In fact, according to the publisher’s website, there are a dozen contributors to the 455-page book.

The AP noted in its report, which MarketWatch published: “A judge in Wisconsin on Monday issued a summary judgment against authors James Fetzer and Mike Palacek.”

Major @AP @MarketWatch blunder… basic research would have revealed Jones IS NOT the author of "Nobody Died at Sandy Hook"
